“Uhm… what might this be?” Karua casually picked up the magic core.
“That’s an S-Rank magic core, you see!”
“Really… this is S-Rank? Is that good for a treasure chest?”

Everyone looked at me, urging me to reply.
Alright, I’ll do it.

“It’s amazing. It’s so much better than an S-Rank skill card or a national treasure grade item, which might turn out useless for us. To be honest, I feel compelled to say that this is just like you, Karua.”

Indeed, this is as good as it gets!

With this, we could get Lilo’s Fire Magic all the way to the Extreme, its highest stage, and do the same for Myuri’s Enhancement Magic. Then, we could get all four sword users to Great Swordsmanship… And that wouldn’t use up even half of it. Something that cut down on the rounds they had to do was the best possible treasure.

“How incredible!” Karua exclaimed.
“I knew you could do it, Karua… you were always this lucky…” Ruin cheered her on.
“It was the right choice to leave it to you.” Orgo agreed.
“F-F-F-For now, let’s go back right away and manage our stats and skills!” Lilo urged us on.

Thus, we returned to the magic room. Everyone had leveled up again; the Seinforce members each got four levels, bringing them to 46, while Karua was now level 29, and Tuhl 43.

“Then… before we rest… let’s take care of your stats and skills.”
“How should we allocate our points this time?” Myuri asked, in high spirits.

In that case… I guess it’s time to teach them my STP allocation method.

“Heh-heh, then shall I tell you my trick concerning point allocation?”
“Please do, Teacher Alim!”

Being addressed in that manner by Karua felt a bit embarrassing.

“Eh-heh-heh… anyway, you know the three stats you have the most points in, don’t you? Put those aside for now. Instead, think of your fourth highest stat and-”

My explanation had the following key points:

-Match the points allocated to their lowest stats evenly with the one they had the fourthmost points invested into.
-Evenly allocate one third to half of the points they would obtain from now on to those stats.
-Invest the remaining points into their three highest stats as desired.

That was the gist of it. If this was an online game, there might have been better methods, but this world wasn’t made in a way that let you just ignore certain stats completely.

“Oh… this way, you could be a spellcaster or a warrior, while keeping your specialization as a swordfighter… I see,” Tuhl mused and made a note of it.

When I saw he was done writing, I took the S-Rank magic core from Karua. I held it up.

“Next would be SKP allocation, but… since we got our hands on an S-Rank magic core-”

I told them what they could currently do at minimum with that magic core.

“…Wawawawa! I… I’ll finally get highest grade magic… Woo-hoo!”

Even though she was tired, Lilo enthusiastically pulled Myuri into a hug. The other girl’s eyes teared up when she found herself in that embrace.”

“To think I’d already learn highest rank magic…! Yay…!”

As for the group of sword users, who’d now acquire Great Swordsmanship:

“I wonder, how much stronger will we become with this?” Ruin wondered.
“You should manage to defeat D-Rank magic beasts on your own, and practically without taking any injuries at that,” I explained. “That also goes for Karua. C-Rank foes should also be possible, although you might suffer some injuries when fighting those!”
“Oh~~!!” Orgo was hyped up.

Their capabilities would improve a great deal. They truly would. If those predictions were correct, they’d likely play a bigger role from now on.

“Th-Then once we’ve rested for another hour let’s quickly move on…” Orgo proposed.
“N-No, we can’t. Lilo is probably super tired, we should stop for today…” Ruin tried to stop him.
“Eh… but even though I got Extreme Fire Magic, it’s still at level 0,” the girl in question complained. “I wanna try out highest grade magic as soon as possible…”

I see, she didn’t have enough SKP to learn it.

In that case… to be honest, that wasn’t my original plan, but let’s use that. Although if I bring it out, it’ll really be like cheating in a video game.

I withdrew into the kitchen for a while before coming back with juice made of diluted Amrita.

“Oh, Alim. What’s that? It seems to be glowing…” Lilo asked.
“This stuff? It’s Amrita. Drinking it restores both HP and MP, so I didn’t want to depend on it for the training, and I still think it’s a bad idea, but I guess I can make an exception since you’re making such good progress,” I explained, as I put the drinks on the table. “There you go. I was thinking of offering it once per day from tomorrow on¹.”
“I… I see, in that case…”

Tuhl was the first to drink of it. Following him, the other five also gulped down the Amrita.

“…It completely recovered,” Lilo said. “This stuff is just as crazy as before…!!”
“Heh-heh-heh!”
“Then, let’s dive into the dungeon right away! Come on, come on!”

Lilo gleefully started to get ready to enter the dungeon. Yes, this had cheered her up right away.

1. Considering the side effects mana potions are supposed to have, getting them used to rely on this stuff on a daily basis sounds like a terrible idea.
